Hey, macniako and I had a disagreement during one of our duels, so hopefully someone can help clear it up. During our duel, I had The 4th Hokage (Younger Days) in play, and he had The Six Paths in play. His Six Paths restricts all players' team sizes to 1, and my 4th Hokage can move himself into one of my battling teams during the EOJ. Macniako didn't believe that I could use 4th Hokage's effect, because he thinks Six Paths prevents it.

The question that we want a second opinion on is, whether or not the team size is 3 or changed to something else, can cards like 4th Hokage (another example is Crow NANC-484) still send himself into the team? I am 99% sure that they can, since the team size only prevents the player from moving more than that many Ninja into the same team during your Organization Phase. But once you use an effect like that during the EOJ, does it still count toward the team size?

The Six Paths doesn't just make it so you can't organize Ninjas into Teams with other Ninjas during the Organization Phase (or else it would just say "You cannot Organize Ninjas into Teams with other Ninjas during the Organization Phase"), it caps the number of Ninjas that can ever be in a Team together to 1. Effects and game mechanics that allow you to add Ninjas together don't work while the mission is in play.

Okay, that answers most of my question, but can you still use those type of effects while there isn't a card like The Six Paths in play, and only applying regular 3 Ninja-per-team restriction?
If you respond with another link proving that's wrong I'm going to think I'm crazy Lol, that's why old school Puppet decks were so good, right?

Teams can go over three Ninjas normally by Ninjas being added into the Teams later. It is simply a rule of the game that during the Organization Phase by default, you can only organize a maximum of three Ninjas together. It all has to do with how the effect is worded.
